Our silicone bellows for the Niche Zero and Niche Duo sits on the bean funnel and allows you to blow air through the grinder with every pump to push out most, if not all, the residual coffee grounds inside the grinder out into your dosing cup or portafilter. With our bellows you can get out of the grinder what you put in, achieving up to 0.0g retention*. It's 100% designed in-house, the first to ever exist in the market, and bespoke for the Niche Zero and Duo, and is superior to our original first-to-market 3D printed TPU version (discontinued Feb 2023) in terms of texture, flexibility, air-tightness, and durability.

Acts as an anti-popcorn device for the Niche Duo Prevents popcorning when seated in the Niche Duo during grinding No tools necessary for installation No modifications to the grinder needed Easy to clean Odourless material so it does not impart any smells to your ground coffee [Variants] V1.1 The most current and best version. Has a smooth matte surface that is dust resistant, has accurate shape, and has good wall thickness consistency. Note that some "pieces may come with a very slight oval opening, but will conform nicely when placed into the Niche funnel. V1.1 - Subpar These pieces will have a pronounced distorted form, and possibly other surface blemishes, but they otherwise are fully functional. Although some of the openings of the bellows may look far from circular, they will conform when placed into the Niche funnel. For optimal air-tightness on the Niche Duo, the non-subpar version is recommended. See here for the history of the variants, batches, and versions. [Compatibility] Niche Zero Niche Duo (Light press fit into funnel hole) INTROVERT Single Dose Hoppers Varia VS6 (Fits on the stock funnel and replaces stock hopper) [Use As A Puck Bellows] As a bonus, you can effortlessly pop out spent pucks from the other side of the basket, as long as it's 43mm in diameter or larger. Perfect to use with my 58-49mm Stepdown Baskets. Note that subpar versions may not work as well if the non-circular opening doesn't completely cover the bottom surface the basket due to impartial seal.
